Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. My boss is a tornado.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. To make such comparison, the metaphor states that "thing A is thing B". That's exactly what happens in letter C. My boss is a tornado. The literal meaning would be impossible, but we are able to understand that the boss has some characteristics in common with a tornado. Maybe he is relentless or destructive, just like a tornado.

Options A and B are similes. A simile is a figure of speech similar to a metaphor in the sense that it also makes a comparison. It needs support words that the metaphor doesn't use - "as" or "like". Option D is a personification because it attributes a living quality - gulping - to a non-living thing - a car.

What details explain what causes the narrator to begin to "bump people back"? How do these details
Mazyrski [523]

Hello. You forgot to warn that this question is about the "Invisible Man" prologue.

Answer:

The text shows details that prove that the narrator exists without being perceived by anyone around him, so he starts to push people to prove that he exists. These details help to convey the message that not being noticed is lonely and that it makes a person doubt his own ability and relevance in the world.

Explanation:

The narrator is an invisible man. This causes everyone in the world to ignore you. His existence is irrelevant to the universe and all people follow their lives as if he does not exist and he is not noticed by anyone, this makes everyone bump into him all the time.

This makes the speaker live an extremely lonely life and makes him start to doubt his own existence and to prove that he really exists he starts to push people back.

The main message of the text is to show how human beings need attention, to validate them, to show that they are relevant. When that attention is withdrawn, human beings can respond with hostility as a way to resolve their internal doubts.

My uncle Joe bought a dozen tulips. What is the appositive in this sentence.
ruslelena [56]

Based on the definition of appositive, this is a noun or noun phrase that is used to rename the another noun beside it. Basing on the given sentence above, I believe that it does not have an appositive. The nouns are Joe and Tulips, but no other noun that renames either of the two.

Hope this helps bro.
